Trauma

I was very privileged to work for 13 years in Torfaen & Blaenau Gwent MIND as the Counselling Service Manager / Counsellor / HG Therapist and have extensive experience in counselling people in emotional distress.

My therapy is based on The Human Givens principles. This therapy is practical, solution-based and brief (usually 3-6 sessions of 1 -1.5 hour).

'My aim is to help people identify which area of their lives is not working and guide them holistically to find a solution to improve their lifestyle'.

Claire has a calm, considered approach and offers you the space to explore what has brought you to seek therapy.

With a practice in central London and rural Suffolk, I have extensive lifelong experience of supporting those suffering with poor mental health including the most severe conditions.

These are some of the things people may be thinking or saying when they decide to seek professional support: 

I am a fully qualified HG counselor /psychotherapist.

With a background in Holistic medicine and as a Yoga teacher, I have always enjoyed helping people and now as a dedicated Human Givens Therapist I am able to reach out to an even wider cliental.

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you. 

For as long as I can remember i have been interested in and curious about people. I have also always found meaning in work which has centered on hearing people’s stories.
